f CURTAIN-SHADE FIXTURE. n

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES WILBUR MOORE, a citizenpf the United States,residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri,\have invented new ariduseful Improvements in Curtain-Shade Fixtures, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to curtain-shade iixtures, and has for its objectto produce a comparatively simple inexpensive device of this characterwhich will properly support the curtain and shade rollers, one of whichmay be readily adjusted for rollers of varying lengths and one which maybe firmly attached to and without marring the woodwork of thewindow-frame.

With these and other objects in view the invention comprises the novelfeatures of construction and combination of parts more fully hereinafterdescribed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of thedevice embodying the invention and showing the same mounted for use.Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the iixture. Fig. 3 is a perspectiveview of the upper clamping member. Fig. 4 is a similar view of the lowerclamping member.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a window, and 2 its frame, theseparts, which are conventionally shown herein, being of the usual or anyappropriate construction and material and designed in practice toperform their ordinary functions.

The fixture `3 embodying the invention comprises, as seen in Fig. 2, ahorizontal guide member or bar 4, having adjustably mounted thereonbracket members or heads 5, adapted to be xed in place by means ofclamping members or screws 6, these brackets being each equipped with'acurtain-polesupporting arm 7, having a pole-receiving recess8, an with ahorizontal projecting ear 9, perforated at 10 to receive the pin of ashaderoller, it being noted that the perforation 10 of one of thebrackets is round, while the other is square, as usual. n

For attaching the bar 4 to the windowframe I employ a pair ofcooperating clamping members 11 and 12, having vertical overlapplnrgportions,y each provided with a series e orations 13, there being formedon sai clamping members lhorizontal portions 14 and 15, designed toengage, respectively,

above and below the top portion of the frame 2, while formed at theinner edge 0f vthe p0rtion 15 are terminally-upturned spurs or teeth 16,designed to enter and be embedded in the material of the window-frame.The bar 4 is attached to the clamping members by a fastening member orscrew 17 engaged through the perforations 13 and Serving the furtherfunction of connecting the clamping members in coperative activerelation, it being noted that by the provision of a plurality ofperforations 13 in each of the clamping members the latter may bereadily adjusted to accord with the width of the windowframe, f

In practice the fixture is attached to the frame'2 by means of the.clamping members 11 12, which are securely engaged with the l frame bymeans of the spurs 16 and a pair of set-screws 18, engaged through thehorizontal portion 14 of the member 11. After the fixture has beenapplied the bracket-heads 5 are appropriately ad'usted to accord withthe length of the sha e-roller and thereafter fixed against movement bymeans of the clamping-screw 6, after which the shaderoller andcurtain-pole are properly engaged with the fixture, as will be readilyunderstood.

From the foregoing it is apparent that I produce a comparatively simpleinexpensive device admirably adapted for the attainment of the ends inview, it being understood that minor changes in the details herein setforth may beV resorted to without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

Having thu's described my invention, -what I claim as new is- 1. Acurtain-fixture comprisin a guidebar, bracket members longitudina lyadjustable on opposite extremities thereof, a pair ofvertically-adjustable clamping members adapted for engagement with awindowframe and to which the intermediate portion of the bar is applied,the bar being also movable vertically with respect to the clampingmembers, and means for holding the bar and the clamping members inpositive position with relation to each other.

2. A curtain-fixture comprising a guidebar, brackets longitudinallyadjustable on' op osite extremities of the bar, means for ho ding thebrackets against movement, a
